[Tool] Face Viewer v2.x - Moto 360

So I had over 150 watch faces on my PC and it was difficult to find what I was looking for at any given point. So I did what I always do, made a simple program to help me stay organized.

FEATURES / CHANGE LOG:
v2.1.1
(restored after hard drive crash - should have everything that v2.1 did)
- Changed Imgur authorization ID since old one was no longer valid
- Minor changes to the UI and minor code tweaks
----------
v2.1
- Added support for protected Watchmaker faces - all features should work except removing protection of the images and the watch code xml
- Added support for adding/editing face author for Watchmaker faces
- Improved renaming of watch face author across different Facer formats
- Various other improvements and bug fixes
----------
v2.0
- Added ability to batch export all faces at once - click on the Batch Process menu and select 'Export all faces' - remember you can also select multiple faces by holding down Control and then right-clicking to export only the selected faces
- Added ability to batch create preview images for all faces at once - click on the Batch Process menu and select 'Create preview images'
- Added ability to find all protected Facer watch faces - click on the Filters menu, then 'Find protected Facer watch faces'
- Added ability to remove protection from Facer files so they can be exported as an unprotected .face file and then imported into WatchMaker - just right-click on the face you want to remove protection from and click 'Remove protection', now you can export it
- Added ability to batch remove protection from Facer files - click on the Batch Process menu and select 'Remove Facer protection'
- Added ability to search for duplicate watch faces (based on face name) - click on the Filters menu and select 'Find duplicate watch faces'
- Added ability to sort faces by date added (newest to oldest or oldest to newest) or by face name (A to Z or Z to A) - click on the Sorting menu and select your preferred sorting method
- Added ability to color code the watch faces in the list using the Facer and WatchMaker colors respectively (enabled by default) - to enable/disable, click on the Options menu and then 'Color code watch faces in list'
- Protected Facer watch faces will display a lock icon on the preview image for easy identification (but won't be exported in the preview image)
- Added ability to drag and drop .face, .watch and .zip files to the program - it'll copy them over to the folder where you keep your watch faces (or use the default folder if you don't have a custom one) and it will import the faces for you
- Added ability to just drag and drop one or multiple faces to the FaceViewer exe or shortcut and it'll load your existing files, then automatically import the face(s) you drag/dropped to it. If you're sorting by date added, they will be at the top of your face list
- Added ability to right-click on the Imgur link in the log and open the Imgur link in your default browser
- Added ability to delete a face by pressing the delete key on your keyboard - you're still prompted to confirm, and also works with multiple selected files - remember you can hold down Control while clicking or holding down Shift while pressing the up or down keys to select multiple faces
- Added ability to cancel any on-going process so you don't stay stuck if something goes wrong
- Improved behavior so when searching for face files it won't get stuck with old/poorly zipped faces that have an extra folder where the watch face files should be
- Improved behavior so when you have multiple watch faces selected you can right click without holding down the Control key and won't lose your selection
- Fixed displaying of face names for new WatchMaker files that were displaying names incorrectly
- Fixed bug where faces without images would still allow you to 'Edit images' and would crash
- Rearranged filters to the menu - to filter your list of watch faces, click on the Filters menu then use one of the various choices to narrow your list of watch faces - to reset the filters to default behavior click on 'Reset all filters'
- Various other improvements and adjustments to the GUI and code
----------
v1.1
- Added feature to edit or add author name to a face - right-click and select 'Edit face author'
- Face searching is now recursive by default - this means you can have your watch faces organized in multiple folders, nested however you want. Just feed Face Viewer the parent folder and it'll find them all for you (be sensible - if you put Face Viewer to search your entire C:\ drive you're going to have a bad time)
- Added option to enable/disable recursive search and option to display/hide the face author name if available
- Added several new overlays for other smart watches: LG G Watch R, LG G Watch, Asus ZenWatch and Sony SmartWatch 2 - right-click on the preview image and select the overlay you want
- Added ability to have no overlay and just see the preview image bare - right-click on the preview image and select 'None'
- Added ability to use your own overlay - create a 500x500 PNG file using the provided ones as a template and drag and drop it on the preview image - it will be applied and saved, and now you can select it by right-clicking on the preview image
- Program will remember which preview overlay (or none) you used last in case you always use something other than the stock Moto 360 overlay
- Added ability to specify the background color for the preview images - right-click on the preview image and select 'Change background color'
- Several GUI fixes and improvements
----------
v1.0 - Initial Public Release
WHAT DOES IT DO?
It allows you to put all your watch faces (extracted folders, .zip, .face and .watch files) in one folder, so that reduces clutter. Once you've told the program which folder has your watch faces, it will:
- list them all in alphabetical order
- show you a preview image of the face
- allow you to search for any word or part of a word in the face name or the creator name (some faces store that information)
- allow you to filter the faces by Facer or WatchMaker faces only, or both
- allow you to filter faces by analog, digital, or mixed (contains both elements)
- allow you to manually set whether a face is analog, digital or mixed (in case the auto detection fails or for faces with misused tags)
- allow you to mark as and filter by Favorites
- allow you to delete one or multiple faces from within the program
- allow you to rename a face (this will carry over when exporting)
- allow you export one or multiple faces (it'll choose .face or .watch based on type)
- allow you to "explore" a face - opens that face folder in Windows Explorer so you can manually edit it
- allow you to "Edit images" - adds .png extension to images, and opens the images folder in Windows Explorer
- allow you to save the preview composite image locally or upload it to Imgur for displaying of previews with the nice background I created or your own (replace overlay.png in the /bin folder)
WHAT DOES IT NOT DO?
This was meant to be a quick programming effort on my part to simplify my life, so here are the fun things it won't do:
- It WILL NOT (and I won't add support for it, so please don't bother asking) allow you to create or modify the layout or design of the faces. Use the respective programs to create/modify them
- It WILL NOT (and I won't add support for it, so please don't bother asking) convert from WatchMaker to Facer or from Facer to WatchMaker. The creator of Facer does not want to import WatchMaker files, and is not happy with the fact that the creator of WatchMaker is importing Facer files. I won't get mixed up in that mess.
WHAT DO YOU NEED?
Modern Windows (tested on 8.1 Pro) and .NET Framework 4.0 or newer. That should be it. If anything else is required, please let me know so I can list it here.

Face Viewer v2.1.1
Face Viewer v2.1
So yeah, this isn't going to change anyone's life, but it's been useful to my wife and I, so I thought I would share it with you guys. Hopefully it works for you.
Version v2.1.1 was only created to help me recover the lost source code. I have no intentions to continue working on this tool and will not be addressing any issues with it.
If v2.1.1 has issues, go back to v2.1 - but it should be fine.
OUTDATED - READ BELOW!!!
Some very helpful users have taken over the source code and will be posting updated versions of the program on this thread. Obviously they can't edit this OP, so please check the last few pages of the thread to make sure you're getting the latest version!

Great! Thx a lot!
I just have the problem that the window stays too small, so that i only see half of the picture preview. No way i can maximize it.
Would be cool if that could be fixed.

Can you share a screenshot of what it looks like? There's no reason for it to look any different than it does on my screenshot. Also share what resolution and version of Windows you're running.

is there anything like this for the mac?

I got absolutely no experience with Mac, so I won't be able to make it. As far as there being something else, I hope not. If something like this existed I wouldn't have wasted my time

I'll take a look. There's no way it should look like that. Sit tight.

Try this updated version. Took me a while to upload because my internet wasn't working right. Let me know if it works as intended now.

Glad to hear it works now.

@Max_Pain
I wish you shared the whole collection with the application would be so so so obliged!

I probably will. But I'm going through that other 190 + watch face collection that was shared here recently and going to combine what I didn't already have with my own. Then probably share that. We'll see.

Did i miss that collection? Which thread was it? Or direct link? Thx

I downloaded that other 199 collection and ended up having to delete a load of duplicates which just had slightly different names and then when trying to use any the faces never actually worked, just had blank black faces with poorly designed battery, dates etc on them. Not sure that I could've done anything wrong so must've been something wrong in the zip or something. Would be interested if you share as I've now deleted all those.

I haven't actually tried them yet, so had no idea. I did notice some of the files were empty inside. A few had another folder inside which then contained the files, so you'd have to move them out before you can import it on Facer.
Eventually I'll share my collection. Stay tuned to this thread.

Really amazing tool ! greatly thanks for your effort and sharing.
of cause the tools just right fit for use, just my opinion if able to make batch export that will be much faster when managing large number of faces, the tool will become too perfect.
Now I cannot work without this tools, much thanks!

You can already batch export. Hold down Control while selecting the faces you want to export. You can then delete or export the multiple selected files.

Hi, thank you for your work its exactly what I was looking for.. Just wondering is it possible to enable the application to search through nested folders? I've organized my collection of faces like this - "D:\Android Wear\Faces\Folder 1, D:\Android Wear\Faces\Folder 2, D:\Android Wear\Faces\Folder 3" The application currently only reads one specific folder.
Thank you again.

I Must Say:
This is really nice, I do have a reg editor, which is really all this is. But it has a great GUI, and unlike the OldSAPFavorites, it actually works like it's supposed to work.
I am really impressed by the author, and heck I might even try to improve on this. Although I don't really see how.
Props to the author, and to everyone who hasn't checked this out, it's definitely worth the time. It takes you to exactly what you want to edit. Updates it perfectly.
Rock on!!!
Aww man... This GREATLY eliminates the headache of having to do this through the registry! It's pretty much the same process--just a more user friendly interface!

Ops! Stupid me. Should try the apps first before commenting.
Anyway how about a module to modify the layout - changing the cpr file's fontsize, text placement and slide size. Make a visual presentation of changes being made.
Currently in order to see changes made to the cpr file, require changes in the settings>homescreen.
Thanks and thanks for such a useful apps.

And how do you propose he accomplish that ? You STILL have to reload the CHome plugin to see your changes. Besides, making a GUI editor for the CPR files could prove to a huge pain in the ass, probably not worth his time

Just responding to his comments. Too bad I'm not a coder. Well, if it can be done without hurting anyones's a$$,well and good. Otherwise....
Only suggestions I could think of for an improvements is perhaps getting rid of red for the disabled ones. Its a non-standard GUI practice. More commonly the disabled would be grey, or struck through, and an icon pair, like perhaps an eye & a circleslash (or similar) would denote the visiblity of the active ones. And maybe some way of not moving them to the bottom if they are enabled-invisible, but letting them stay in place.
Still, rather trifling things, and very nice app, that should be standadrd in any 6.1 ROM, as of now, IMHO, and should probably be in the settings Cpanel! Good stuff.
There is no software without bugs
There was a bug in version 0.9.0.0 which prevents Softkey2 URL to keep it value after the settings are saved. So I have updated the software to version 0.9.0.1. Please read the first post for more details.

It would be nice but it would be more like a software running on PC not on the phone because of its complexity and I don't think I'll have time for that for awhile

Belive me, grouping the panels by their visibility is more difficult to do than leaving them in place but I chose that way because it represents exactly what the user will get on the homescreen.
*Off topic*The version number starts at 0.9.x.x: because I haven't had enough time to implement every features I have planned for version 1.0.
Features still not implemented:
Changing page order on Customize window
Adding/Deleting page on Customize window
First of all, thank you for making such a great app. I installed it on my Vox and it works great. The only question I have is: How can I add the CLinks page? When I make it visible, it's not on the homescreen, because it's just not present in the reg. Is there an easy way of adding it?
so i was messin around with it because it diddnt seem you work i hid all the panles and now it wont load even a blank screen when i reset it it freezes at with the start menu bar showing and the windows wait symbol anyone got an idea or am i F'd
Can you still open it with Active Sync? Because if, you might wanna delete the sliding themes and then reboot. It'll probably show that it can't load a layout, but you can acces the startmenu again.

I tried that myself and it required a hard reset to fix the problem. I didn't expect the homescreen to crash like that when no panel is visible (typical Microsoft QA
To do a hardreset:
- Turn off the phone
- Remove the battery for a few seconds and put it back
- Hold both your soft keys for a couple seconds and then while still holding the 2 keys, press power on.
I'll make sure that there's must be at least one visible panel in the next release.
Top Bar Gone
When I install either this one or CHome Weather, the top bar with the status icon disappears. If I uninstall both, the top bar reappears. I have tried it several times, and I get the same results. Any ideas?

Does it just reload the homescreen? If it does, it want work with for people using the TestUIPlugin(like CHome Weather). If this panel is being used, then a reboot is needed to reload the homescreen. But I could be wrong, I was once before.

Version 5.3:

Shopping Cart Companion - You can use this tiny application to easily create and manage lists (both standard and master lists) from your PC and transfer them directly to your device.
Fixes:
Optimized code greatly for larger lists. Opening a large list, e.g. 40 items per tab over 3 tabs opens in 5 seconds instead of 30. This has a huge impact on older / slower devices.
Version 5.2:
New features:
Shopping lists now have the typical elastic rebound effect when a list is scrolled beyond the beginning or end of a list.
Fixes:
The position of a shopping list no longer automatically scrolls to the top of the list if you click an entry that is below the "first page" of the list.

Exporting all marked items of a master list to a regular list doesn't work when using "mark all items".
Exiting from the master list without saving or anything says that the user tried to save the masterlist as a regular list.
Various errors with save dialogs not appearing and files not being saved.
Version 5.0:
NOTE: You will have to uninstall the previous version because of the name change! Otherwise you will have both applications installed!

New initial GUI upon start of application (enabled or disabled by a setting)- a "home" screen with more intuitive quick-launch buttons to access application features.
New option on long-press-hold over an item - copy item text to input field.
Language files included have been updated with the new entry above and need to be translated. When you do, please upload them to this thread.
A new setting to prompt a user to overwrite an existing saved cart rather than just doing it.
Application will be renamed to "Digicast Solutions' Shopping Cart" from "cRaCKwHoRe's Shopping Cart"
Fixes:
Intermittent application errors / crashes when deleting / duplicating items / opening and closing SIP.
Application not remembering last opened list.

I am trying to prevent where a list of items scrolls back to the top if you are scrolled down and click an item.
Version 4.2:
Fixes:
Scrolling issue resolved.
Inability to add new categories/tabs resolved.
Resampled and resized images thanks to aiiro.
Version 4.1:
Fixes:
Opening a saved master list would cause an error. This has been fixed.
Installing the latest version of Shopping Cart will no longer overwrite your customized application settings with the default ones. They are now saved between versions.
Adjusted size of item container on different resolutions so that all items can be seen completely when you have a larger list.

Still trying to duplicate the "scrolling" issue affecting some users so that I can fix it...

New features:
Duplicate item (context item)
Rename item (context item)
Move item up/down (context item)

Changed application installation location and registry location to "Shopping Cart" instead of "Shopping Cart v x.x" for compatibility with Sashimi and AppToDate
New setting for prompting user to clear cart
New setting to disable single-clicking an item to check/uncheck it. Disabling it requires a tap+hold and select from a context menu to check/uncheck an item.
Fixes:
Application now shifts/resizes when SIP is displayed so you can see everything (may add a setting for this, what do you guys think?)
Lots of new language items so language files will have to be edited
Tweaked some code and fixed a few memory leaks to make application faster overall
Saved lists are now automatically saved as Unicode files to preserve special characters.
Version 3.1:
New features:
Multiple resolution support - now currently 480x800, 480x640, 320x320, 240x400, 240x320. I only have a 480x800 device but on my emulators everything looks fine on the other resolutions. Let me know what you find!

There are 15 language files now included, thanks to all the contributors for making the changes from the previous version. Old language files are not compatible with this release and will cause an issue when the application loads if you try to use one.
Had to temporarily remove color and strikethrough options for compatibility. Will try to add this back in for next release.
Version 2.1:
Fix startup issue for alternate language roms.
Remove scrollbars but still allow scrolling, to be more like other touch-sensitive scrolling applications.
Ability to customize the color of checked / unchecked items if MultiColorFonts is enabled.
Multiple language support.
Moved application settings into registry rather than .xml file.

Also, here is a link to all the .NET 3.5 compact framework installation files.
You specifically need to have:
NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab
NETCFv35.Messages.XX.wm.cab (where XX indicates your phone's language)
Hi thanks, that's really cool. I will use it as a to do list (I had raised this question a while back). It's not quite as good as getting it as a front page tab, but it will suit me fine. Cheers!
Fantastic, thank you.
Just last week I was thinking that it would be better to have a program that I could easy mark off what I have got. Now it is here. Cool
Thanks
Looks good...thanks!
Looking mighty fine crack . Lol @ forgetting cab file in first post.

great work buddy.
Any one has ried on qvga?
Hey just tried this and on QVGA and it works but it seems that the spacing is slightly out compared to yours on the WVGA? Have a look
Apart from that all seems good!
great work, thanks!

A while back I wrote a very basic utility where I could write a shopping list and use it on my phone to go shopping with rather than taking a piece of paper and a pen with me. I got tired of forgetting stuff LOL! I use it every time I go to the store. I just thought I would share it with you all.
You can manually type in items to add to the shopping list or you can type up a list in Notepad or something similar. If you want to import a list in the application just save the file as a text file with each entry separated by a carriage return (new line / Enter) and copy it to your device. Then, in the application click File and Open and browse to where you copied the .txt file.
When you tap an item (click it) it toggles strikethrough text style, in effect marking it as found
Attached are a few screenies.
I'm open to suggestions as far as modification and such. It is designed for and works for the Touch HD as far as resolution is concerned. I don't know about other devices as I haven't tested it on any as I have no others.
Also, it requires .NET compact flash 3.5.

You mean the home screen being where it shows the clock, your missed calls, voicemails, calendar events, etc. right? If so, I wasn't aware things could be added to that. If they can I could look into it.
saw your announcement in Dutty's area, and got it. Work like a charm, man, thanks. I have been looking for a super simple one like this for long
Simple and useful...
Thanks!!

My first app! A text editor without size limit

I am proud to present Need To Write!
It's a text editor unlimited by file sizes and offers a lot of customization and power tools
Completely FREE version can be downloaded here!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
Difference between Paid and Free version is mainly in the poweruser options.
Paid version mainly adds lotsa poweruser options ;D
1) Remembers up to 9999 undo/redo operations
2) Control over the End-Of-Line characters (Apple, Unix and Windows tend to handle different End-Of-Line differently when doing plain text editing)
3) Allows user to specify buffer size
4) Allows custom fonts and background images
5) Allows user to customize 6 extra Themes in addition to the built-in 3 Themes.
6) Allows toggling of word wrap
7) Continuous Text to Speech.
8) Automatic backup of multiple files to user specified locations on SD card
Free version:
1) Remembers just 1 undo/redo operation, plus 1 reset buffer
2) Defaults to Android EOL handling
4) Fixed 10000 buffer size
5) Custom fonts and backgrounds disabled. You can still paint over the existing 3 themes with a solid color though, just adjust your Opacity bar in your themes dialog.
6) Customization of 3 built in Themes.
7) Always wordwrap
8) Text to Speech reads single paragraphs only.
9) Automatic backup of 1 file to user specified location on SD card
Version 1.71 features:
1) A File List, which works like a Bookshelf/Task_list/Recent_files hybrid management system. So basically, you can use it as a Task list, text bookreader, and text file editor as well.
2) Edit mode with unlimited file size, and tracking system to resume your reading/editing progress.
3) HTML mode! Supports non html files as well.
4) Text to Speech! I'm gonna use it to listening to ebooks when my eyes are tired
5) GoTo, Search, Replace, Cut, Copy, and Paste
6) Multiple Undo and Redo with undo history up to 9999(for the full version). Also comes with a sliding bar to easily rewind and fast forward the changes you made.
7) Themes! Customizable display; you can specify your own background images, custom fonts, background and font colors, line spacing, indents etc.
8) Landscape mode
9) EditText view with inertia scrolling, and yet no irritating problems of the view rectangle not being called to show your cursor, nor the rectangle jumping all over the place when you try to place your cursor far away.
10) Toggleable word wrap and autocapitalization (if supported by keyboard app)
11) Specify what End-Of-Line chars for saving your files with.
12) Tons of encoding options from ISO, windows 125_, Cyrillic, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc.
13) Share your files or just specific lines of selected text via email, bluetooth etc.
14) Automatic backup of files to user specified locations on SD card
15) HTML mode to easily switch between plain text and HTML view
If you like what you see, download now!
Oooops, double post
Latest version 1.3 is up!
Major changes are:
- Bookshelf/memo_list/recent_files hybrid system. So basically, you can use it as a memo list, bookreader, and text file editor as well.
- Fixed most of the pesky question marks by using windows-1252 as the default encoding.
- Added a lot of encoding options from ISO, windows 125_, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.
- Themes! Customizable themes, and you can specify your own background images (Paid version only).
- Share your files via email/bluetooth etc.
- Built in file browser
- No more popup nag box! :s
Search and replace only works within the displayed text for now.
New version 1.35!
New features:
1) Toggleable word wrap
2) Specify which type of End-Of-Line chars to use when saving files, '\r', '\n', or '\r'+'\n'
3) Improved Find/Replace and GoTo function. Background no longer dims.
4) Stability fixes, some quite important ones. Make sure you update if you haven't yet!
That looks really nice for first program!
Im sure people will use this
Btw, how did you do this?

With Eclipse IDE and Java, picking it up as I went along . Crux of the whole app is the proper loading and saving of file chunks, customizing the EditText behavior, and its backup system.
But actually not many people are downloading it
New version 1.40!
NTW now talks! Comes with ability to adjust pitch, speech rate, and supported languages.
But be warned, I think Android's Text to Speech is a bit buggy, so the voice doesn't really respond consistently to my controls for pitch and speech rate.
Edit: I found out it does respond consistently, but I have to be patient and wait for the next sentence to play naturally, instead of pressing stop and play for instant replay
v1.41 is out. It only patches NTW crashing due to certain Text to Speech settings. Download if you encounter this crashing.
why not put this awesome app in the market? I'm quite sure that all txt editors currently available do have size limit
a suggestion: it needs to support more codes like
UTF-8
UTF-16BE
UTF-16LE
UTF-32BE
UTF-32LE
WINDOWS-1251
WINDOWS-1252
WINDOWS-1253
WINDOWS-1255
SHIFT_JIS
ISO-2022-JP
ISO-2022-CN
ISO-2022-KR
ISO-8859-5
ISO-8859-7
ISO-8859-8
BIG5
GB18030
EUC-JP
EUC-KR
EUC-TW
IBM855
IBM866
KOI8-R
MACCYRILLIC
HZ-GB-2312
X-ISO-10646-UCS-4-3412
X-ISO-10646-UCS-4-2143
edit: oh i have found it. the market search system s*cks .typing the app name and not find in the start but middle of the list
It does already support many of the encodings you listed, including all 5 of the UTF encodings, most Windows 125*, ISO8859-*, EUC-JP, EUC-KR, Big5, Shift-JIS, variants of GBK, etc etc
However, it doesn't really do auto detection... Only autodetects UTF encodings provided that your file specifies the BOM bytes for it. For files without BOM or with BOM for the other encodings, you have to manually select its encoding from the list in Tools-->Themes-->Encoding

Hmmm, this list of encodings look familar, are you the developer for Jota text editor?
http://android-apps.com/applications/tools/jota-text-editor/
I just found out that NTW crashes on startup on the Galaxy Ses owned by 2 of my mom's friends. They are typical users who experience lots of lag on their Galaxy S because they never tweak, optimize, root, upgrade to 2.2, or even use an external sdcard. Nevertheless, I am quite bemused why NTW crashes so consistently on their Galaxy S but not mine, considering that NTW does not require much system resources, nor the external sdcard to run.
I would be very grateful if any Galaxy S users would feedback to me if NTW regularly crash on their phones as well.
Ok, I think I've solved the crashing problem some of you may be experiencing. Hopefully anyway......
v1.42
- Patches NTW crashing due to your phone's Text to Speech settings or lack of TTS.
- More encodings: ISO-2022 for JP, KR & CN. KOI-8R for russian.
Heheheheh!!! Always wanted to implement multiple undo/redo, but only recently figured out how to do so efficiently
v1.45
- Multiple undo/redo! Undo History bar allows easy rewinding or fast forwarding of your changes, maxed at 9999 steps.
"Reset chunk" replaces the original Undo/Redo menu option.
Clicking of "Reset chunk" is recorded in Undo history.
Note: Free version has Undo history of only 1 in addition to "Reset chunk".
- Improved File Browser
- Streamlined File List interface.
Long press to view the preview, file properties, "Forget" and "Share" options.
NTW v1.47 is out!
Basically, this update makes the search, goTo, and undo/redo operations much easier than before. It also makes much better use of the space at the top which was previously just showing the filename and current %.
- Implemented fast scroll thumbs for browser and NTW shelf .
- Icon toolbar for convenient undo/redo, goTo, search, load next/prev chunk. Long click of undo/redo buttons pop up the undo history bar. Click the % display to shwo the goTo dialog.
- Improved goTo function.
NTW v1.48 is out!
- Fast scroll thumb for the main text box! (Built from scratch, whew! The behavior of ListView's fast scroll thumb was really tough to emulate properly )
- Progress bar above icon bar to show you where is your currently loaded chunk.
- Search backwards in addition to searching forwards. Plus some tweaks to search behavior
v1.49 is out!
This is mostly tweaking the behavior, performance and efficiency of undo/redo, search and replace, and the cursor.
- Fixed search backwards so that it works for single char searches too.
- Tweaks to UI of file browser and File List when adding/forgetting files
- Changed Replace operation so it is more compatible with undo/redo
- Fixed the auto shifting of cursor interfering with delete by holding down delete key
- Minor cursor tweaks and speed enhancement to File List
V1.51 is out!
New features:
- Incredibly cool Viking android as fast scroll icon!
- Even more incredibly cool menu icons!
- Delete command now available in file browser. This should be useful if you sometimes find yourself itching to do some file clean up from within NTW itself.
- Adjustments to left and right indent seekbar range and auto fadeout time of fast scroll icon.
- Self-fading pop up dialog boxes for messages like successful save, successful overwrite, or other error messages. I made the fadeout time for non-error related messages quite fast, but if you still find them irritating, let me know and I'll program in a check box to toggle their existence.
V1.52 is out!
Changes:
- File List now displays the file name only.
- Added shortcut to change "Encoding". Long press the main editing window to bring up the context menu, then select "Encoding Options".
- Ratings button, and my blog address added into Help
- Text cursor will no longer move along with the scrolling page.
- Tablet users should (hopefully) be able to find NTW in the Market now.
- NTW now supports only Android v 2.2 or higher. I think NTW was crashing for for v2.1.
I'm thinking I should probably move on to something else for now. Have an idea for an interesting variation of a file explorer....
I'll get back to NTW as and when I have time, maybe improve the search and replace or the GoTo % accuracy etc.
Hi,
why it is said "my device is not compatible"
when I try to install from market?

Needed Tools:

Install Guide​Video Guide
More easy way to install the icons is with Device Manager of TouchXperience (video guide above):
1 - download Icons (the ones with - SMI) and ProductId
2 - unzip the icons
3 - Open Windows Phone Device Manager (sync with the device) and open Explore Files and Folders\Applications\Install\
4 - Open the unziped folder and open the folder with the color you want
5 - Select all (or select the ones you want) and drag them to Windows Phone Device Manager - Explore Files and Folders\Applications\Install\
6 - wait till all folders are copied
That's it !!!
For those that can't use the method above, try the old ones below:​First Method to Install (for one icon at a time)
I will make an example for Advanced Explorer with Orange color
1 - download nichitandrei - Simple Icons.zip and Product Id
2 - unzip
3 - open nichitandrei - Simple Icons\Orange code - f09609\Advanced Explorer\
4 - copy .PNGs to Desktop Host\bin\UploadRoot
5 - look in the Product Id.txt and see what code has the app of which icon you replace (for Advanced Explorer - DEA9333A-E91C-44ED-BB1F-2400CD9E824E)
6 - go to the phone and open Advanced Explorer go to remote page and refresh it till you'll see the icons from the UploadRoot
7 - Copy the icon in Applications\Install\DEA9333A-E91C-44ED-BB1F-2400CD9E824E\Install\
And that's it
Second Method to Install (for more than one icon at a time)
I will make an example for Advanced Explorer with Orange color
1 - download nichitandrei - Simple Icons - SMI.zip and Product Id
2 - unzip
3 - copy Orange folder (from nichitandrei - Simple Icons - SMI\Orange\) in Desktop Host\bin\UploadRoot\
4 - open nichitandrei - product id.txt and you will see the product id (for Advanced Explorer - DEA9333A-E91C-44ED-BB1F-2400CD9E824E)
5 - if you don't want to change the icon for Advanced Explorer, in Desktop Host\bin\UploadRoot\Orange\ delete the folder named DEA9333A-E91C-44ED-BB1F-2400CD9E824E
6 - after you delete all the folders you don't want, go to the phone and open Advanced Explorer go to remote page and refresh it till you'll see the Orange folder from the UploadRoot
7 - open Orange folder and you'll see the product id folders (like DEA9333A-E91C-44ED-BB1F-2400CD9E824E)
8 - select them and copy them in the Application\Install\ (try to not copy more than 7 at the time. From my experience Advanced Explorer blocks)
9 - wait till all folders are copied
If you need other icons leave a list with the name of the app
Thanks
- to my wife for her Support and Understanding
Attention!!! v2 contains just the new icons. To have it all download both v1 + v2
Download
- nichitandrei - Simple Icons.zip
- nichitandrei - Simple Icons - SMI.zip
- nichitandrei - product id.txt
- nichitandrei - Simple Icons - v2.zip
- nichitandrei - Simple Icons - SMI - v2.zip
- nichitandrei - Product ID v2.txt
Feel free to leave a feedback or simply press Thanks button to show your appreciation​
I know, I know I posted this on HD2 Forum, but I was wrong, because this is for all WP7 devices and I know that [ICONS] must be posted on THEME Sub-Forum but on WP7 there is no Theme Sub-Forum​
I don't get it, weren't you bothered that when you have a theme (e.g: blue, orange, red ect) the icons had different colors or you don't like these.
No feeback, no thanks I'm a little dissapointed... At least for the fact that I implemented the ideea of changing the icons
This post is for future updates. If I will need
I would try this but advanced explorer doesnt work on focus
Hope this works for you

Ok, I figured out a method for your problem:
Download "Icons by nichitandrei.xap" and open it with Winrar and copy the folders with the icons you want to install then save and close.
Install "Icons by nichitandrei.xap" like any other app.
In your phone, after you install "Icons by nichitandrei.xap" it will open a blank page from which you can not go back, so just press the windows button (to go to homescreen).
Open a file explorer that works for you and go in applications/install/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/ and here you have all the folders with the icons you wanted.
From here you can copy/paste like in the methods to install from above.
V2
Check out in the first post!! Today I added v2 (if you want all icons, you must download both v1 + v2)
Don't forget to leave a feedback , and of course I will still make other icons if you want, just leave a list
Finally someone has taken the initiative, well done fantastic work!
P.S. Can you please add Navigon icon on your next release, Thanks!

To be honest, most of us are doing everything we can to get some colour into our phones and get rid of the drab WP standard, this mod is the total opposite to what a lot of people want!
My phone has every mod I could lay my hands on to make the home screen and program list look as interesting as possible instead of the plain and boring one colour theme Microsoft try to make us have.
If you could modify this to make the phone more colourful instead of less then a lot more people would want it.

I posted this in 2011, but I'm still on Windows Phone, for sure it's my last Windows Phone till they will work harder for this OS and they will bring more apps (I'm referring to the popular apps and games)
And to answer to your comment, I'm telling you just that...this OS it was called METRO and it was looking more 'metro' when it was in one color and that's why I open this thread, but now, a lot of apps will make there icon transparent to look the best with the new background of the start screen.
Have fun with this OS!!!

im pretty sure this will be my first and last handset with windows phone too, After this im off to android!
I came to windows phone after years and years with windows mobile and this terrible looking and basic o.s was a real shock and major disappointment.
Metro in my opinion was a real mistake and has made this o.s look dull and boring.
Then there's the basic o.s, I can't believe how stripped out this is, every single decent feature or setting has gone, Windows mobile was 1000x better than windows phone, Microsoft have lost there way and its a shame.
I understand what you tried to do and you did what you wanted very well, I was just saying that it might have been better making this project but with the opposite and added colour and fancy icons, maybe you could have done both.
I am in no way trying to tear apart your work and any work on this o.s is appreciated, just giving feedback to the obvious dissapointment that you showed when there was little attention from people when you released the mod.
If my comments upset you i apologize, it was not my intention.

I understand what you tried to do and you did what you wanted very well, I was just saying that it might have been better making this project but with the opposite and added colour and fancy icons, maybe you could have done both.
I am in no way trying to tear apart your work and any work on this o.s is appreciated, just giving feedback to the obvious dissapointment that you showed when there was little attention from people when you released the mod.
If my comments upset you i apologize, it was not my intention.

Your comment didn't upset me at all.
I believe that Android is way more boring than Windows Phone 8.1 but it has many popular apps and it has the galaxy note line that has the nice pen and this makes me go for it.

Marco Agas from the mycoloroscreen youtube channel did a really good overview video over my app. Check it out:

COLOR:
The new way to manage colors for your Zooper Widgets is here. Add as many variables as you like, use the whole color spectrum with transparency and then export your set. Using the color tags defined through this app, you can make the whole look of your widgets be changed in a matter of seconds.
Instead of spending time to do different color combinations of all your widgets and manage all those templates, make your widgets once and let the user make the color version they want! All you as the designer have to do, is to define the tags in your app, use them as advanced parameters with the appropriate tags in your widgets, then export your collection and share the file with your users to import. Easy as that
EXTRA VARIABLES:
Zooper has a lot of build in variables to represent the different states of your device. But some of them like bluetooth, ringer and airplane mode are not included. ZW Utilities fixes this by making three new variables available to you:
#TZWU_BLUETOOTH_STATE# (0-off. 1-on, 2-connected)
#TZWU_RINGER_STATE# (0-silent. 1-vibration, 2-normal)
#TZWU_AIRPLANE_STATE# (0-off, 1-on)
These will be automatically updated, when the system state changes. Apart from having the app installed, you don't need to do configure anything else. They are just there for you to use
I tested this app with a small group of people and while it should be fairly stable, it's still software. So if something doesn't work as expected, the app crashes, etc. please tell me about it and include as much information as you can (at least device, system, rom and app version). You can either post to this thread or if you are also on G+, join the app community http://goo.gl/qGQVn1. I also appreciate any and all ideas you have for the app or what additional functions you would like to see.
Happy theming everyone!

How to use
Colors:
You need to enclose the variables you created in the appropriate tags. Which tags depends on where you want to change the color. For text and rect modules it's [c][/c], for progress bars it's [cf][/cf] (foreground), [cb][/cb] (background) and [cl][/cl] (additional fill color). So to change the color of a text module whit a variable named #TKWER_COLOR# you would put [c]#TKWER_COLOR#[/c] in the advanced parameter section of the that module.
Extended Variables:

Idk if this problem with zooper or app. I can't copy variable created with this app from one item to another. Other variables copying works. I made text with variable in advanced parameters that works and I want to copy it to other text elements. I went to items list, selected text1 and in scrollable list selected copy advanced parameters. I selected other text elements and clicked paste. Zooper said Paste successfully but there was nothing in advanced parameters of other text elements. I had to copy them manually which taken too much time.

I have this problem with Zooper and other Advanced Parameters too. Judging from your description this seems to be an internal bug from Zooper and I'll try to raise it with the devs. Maybe they can get it fixed because as you say, this can get very cumbersome.
I've only been on Zooper for a week now, so forgive the newb-ness here. I'm running a minimal home screen, where I have several links to apps as just plan white text.
Depending on the background I'm using that day, the text shows clearly...to not so much.
This app will let me use some sort of variable for the text color so I can change all the app links in 1 shot (ie, change to a light backgroup, go into app & change all my links to black) ?
Edit: Saw this on the G+ Group:

Works perfectly!!!
Funny part is I was considering changing my text "icons" to small all-white pictures. Wondering if I can do an icon fill the same way.

Oh yeah, I meant to post that info here too. Will do so immediately, thanks for reminding me.
As to your icon question: it's possible to do, if you use icon fonts (something like this for instance http://www.spiderflyapps.com/downloads/android-developer-icons-the-font/ ). Then icons are just another Text layer and their color can be changed just the same

Was about to post a simple example (cropping pix from a home screen thread). In this example, I'm able to change the top row, the line itself, but not the icons at the moment. (or the cell signal bars in another simple widget).
I've never heard of icon fonts - do you mean like Wingdings for Windows where the font is loaded with app icons instead? Hmm - that would work in theory. Checking your link now!!
Edit - found a site called Fontastic that lets you pick from their pre-done icon packs & makes you your own files to download on the fly. Only bad part is not having exact icons for what you want (like no Waze icon). I did a quick test using it, and works exactly as op described!
Now to see how hard it is to take generic icons & make a ttf from it. I'm guessing poorly because of resizing, but don't know.
Brilliant idea!! Thank you so much for this!!
Please add checkered background for selected color, so we can better see what opacity is set

This is something on my personal DoWant list too but I need to modify the library for the color wheel for it. This will need some time so I can't give you an ETA on it. But it will be implemented at some point
The best utility for zooper I must say. Helps changing the accent colors of my zoopers on the fly without having to enter the widget setup every time. Should be a must have app for anybody who's designing widgets. @kwerdenker You've made our lives so easy.

Update 0.6.0
First, let me take this chance to say thank you to all of you! Especially to all who rated or reviewed the app on the play store! The response to the app has been very encouraging and I hope I can keep this up for the future releases. If you have anything you want to see in those, please feel free to post them to this thread or join the community on G+: http://goo.gl/qGQVn1
And now for the main event of the evening:
The latest version of the app has been pushed to the store and should be live any minute. This update contains one of the most requested features: a more responsive way to see the effect of the color changes. Thanks to the fabulous Standout library, it is now possible to pop a variable into a floating window. This enables you to change colors and see the effects immediately on your homescreen. Currently this is limited to one variable at a time but I hope to improve that over time.
*IMPORTANT*If you use the sliders to change the color, you have to tap (just tap, no movement necessary) the ring color selector. This is a limitation of the HoloColorSelector library. I hope this will be fixed in one of their next versions.*IMPORTANT END*​
You can see a video of it in action here: https://plus.google.com/u/1/109987884687615789406/posts/gRiNgL7NWPB
It is also now possible to import and apply color profiles exported from the app by opening them in your file browser. It worked with the ones i tested but if it doesn't with the one you use, please report it.
And now, have fun wit it. Happy theming!
